Can Ridx residue from car carpet get on shoes and track near pets?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 9 months old | 7 lbs

Last question on this subject I swear. But say I where to wear my shoes again, or a different pair. My question is... After I stepped into spilled Ridx granules that someone spilled all over a floor in the store after busting open a box at a store, and I stepped into puddle after stepping into that stuff then got into my car, can any residue get back onto the bottoms of my shoes from the car interior? Like the floors carpet or whatever, and cause me to track it around all over again? ...

As long as you have cleaned your shoes, it will be fine to wear them in the house and Mirz will be fine. I do think you are worrying a little too much about this as I know you have posted multiple times about this topic, but if you really want to be safe, just vacuum and clean your car before driving it again. I hope this finally sets your mind at ease :-)
